Sheringham's mix of flint cottages, Victorian semis, and 1930s bungalows hides a surprising number of redundant chimney stacks that are quietly letting water into roofs that were otherwise sound.
Streets like St Peter's Road and the older parts of town near the seafront are typical — solid houses built for open fires that now run gas central heating. The original stacks remain but serve nothing, and the exposed coastal position means the lime mortar around pots and flaunching weathers badly within a few seasons. A redundant stack in Sheringham can start showing damp staining inside a bedroom ceiling within a couple of winters if it's left unattended.
We remove the stack to below ridge level, make good the roof structure, and match replacement tiles as closely as we can to the surrounding material — whether that's plain clay, concrete interlocking, or the pantiles common on older Sheringham properties. Being based in North Walsham, we're on site in Sheringham quickly and know the local tile suppliers well enough to track down a decent match.
